FamilySearch Account

What is a FamilySearch account?

A FamilySearch account is a username and password necessary for access to all FamilySearch programs.

Why do I need a FamilySearch account?

FamilySearch indexing accesses digital image collections throughout the world. Contractual agreements with record custodians require that these images be protected. A FamilySearch account is the authorization system used to protect them. A FamilySearch account connects you to FamilySearch Family Tree and free records, and allows you to participate with indexing.
